I found this orange tabby cat this morning around 7:15am outside the Ithaca Commons on State Street, in the heart of the Finger Lakes region. It's a medium-sized fluffy guy with bright orange fur, white chest, and white paws, wearing a blue plastic collar with a tiny silver bell. He has a small notch in his left ear and a faint scar on his right hind leg, which helped me spot him again later. He was clearly friendly and purring, so I sat with him for a few minutes and snapped a photo. I can only imagine someone must be worried about a missing pet, and I'd love to help reunite them with this sweet cat.
